Panacea is a mythical universal remedy for all diseases, which can also prolong life, up to infinity.

Alchemists were engaged in the search for a panacea. The name comes from the name of the Greek goddess Panakea (healing everything), the daughter of Asclepius - the god of medicine and healing in ancient Greek mythology.

Today the term "panacea" is used in a figurative sense, meaning a supposed remedy that will solve all problems, and not only of a medical nature. Usually used with the particle "not". For example: "phytotherapy is effective in the treatment of many diseases, but it is still not a panacea."

The Latin name of the genus of ginseng, Panax, is associated with the idea of the existence of a panacea.
